The AirTAC Airtac SGC Standard Cylinder SGC250X450SY is a genuine double acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) tie-rod air cylinder with a Ø250mm bore and 450mm stroke, G1 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its large-bore tie-rod build delivers high thrust and drops into standardized ISO 15552 mounting on heavy automation.
Delivering massive thrust for heavy industrial tasks, the AirTAC SGC250X450SY is a double-acting ISO 15552 tie-rod cylinder with a 250 mm bore and 450 mm stroke. Four steel tie rods clamp the aluminum barrel to the covers for high rigidity, while the two-way piston seal maintains an internal oil reservoir for long service life. It pushes with 24543 N and pulls with 23562 N at 0.5 MPa, scaling up to 34360 N push at 0.7 MPa. The G1 air port and M42x2.0 rod thread handle the high airflow and mechanical load this class demands.
Because this SKU includes the -S magnet, it directly supports CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG position switches. Note that on this large 250 mm bore, TPU seals are not offered; the front-cover packing and buffer gasket are NBR, with a Viton H high-temperature option available for 0-150 C environments. For real-world sizing, plan for about 14726 N of actual work at 0.5 MPa, which safely lifts roughly 1251 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The 60 mm adjustable air cushions at both ends absorb kinetic energy near stroke end.

Provides the 24543 N push force at 0.5 MPa needed to actuate large lower dies in automotive stamping lines.
Raises loaded shipping platforms, utilizing the 1251 kg safe vertical lift capacity with a 2:1 margin.
Secures heavy mold halves using the Y-type knuckle, relying on the rigid four-tie-rod construction under high stress.
Choosing this 250 mm bore makes sense when you need the 24543 N push force at 0.5 MPa, as stepping down to the 200 mm bore drops thrust to 15708 N. Since 250 mm is the largest SGC size, any requirement beyond the 5006 kgf theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa would require a multi-cylinder setup. This model includes a Y-type rod-end knuckle (note that the 250 mm bore does not support U or F knuckles) and uses the standard ISO 15552 mounting interface, so it drops directly into existing large-bore fixtures.
A plain double-acting cylinder drifts if air pressure drops or the valve is centered, as the air cushions only decelerate the piston near stroke ends rather than locking it; use an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve for suspended loads. At 450 mm stroke, keep side loads minimized with external guide rails to prevent rod bending and premature seal wear. The -S magnet enables CMSG, DMSG, and EMSG sensors for end-of-stroke confirmation.
Quick checklist
This 250 mm bore cylinder features a G1 air port and an M42x2.0 rod thread. It generates 24543 N push and 23562 N pull at 0.5 MPa, 34360 N push and 32986 N pull at 0.7 MPa, with a theoretical maximum of 5006 kgf at 1.0 MPa.
Yes, it is dimensionally interchangeable per the ISO 15552 mounting interface for easy integration. The -S suffix means it has a built-in magnet for CMSG, DMSG, or EMSG switches. Note that the 250 mm bore uses NBR buffer gaskets instead of TPU.
